The oldest known recording/film of a juggler?...

(This is a repost from my juggling partner Alfresco Fettucini aka Mike Heidtman from an online forum)
A friend of mine from Michigan (Zeemo) was friends and neighbors with a man named Art Stephans who was the president of the Ann Arbor Silent Film Society. Art gave my friend this film which is reportedly the oldest known recording/film of a juggler known to exist. It was filmed in France around 1907 - 1908. My friend has reproduced it digitally and has posted it on youtube for all to see.

Ladies & Gentleman, I introduce to you for your enjoyment, "Maniac Juggler"

Happy World Juggling Day




June 19th is World Juggling Day. If you know how to juggle, you should make it a point to juggle at some point. Even better, teach someone to juggle today who does not already know how. I will be celebrating by juggling and performing at a private party this evening.

Paul Phariss in the news...


Paul Phariss was also featured in the local newspaper recently, while kicking off a Summer Reading Season at the local library. The Tahlequah Daily Press ran a nice story featuring Paul.
